Hacker 82 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Just finished clearing the driveway here in Bluefield, VA. 6-7 inches. The snow is less powdery than I would have thought considering the temperatures. There is also a bit of a crust on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also a bit of a crust on top. Yep, same here...6"-8" in my yard and anywhere from 4" to 12+" in my driveway (depending on drift). This snow was not close to being light and powdery...I dare you to tell my back that after shoveling the driveway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was both my shoulders today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beamerball 566 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Now on to potential winter storm threat #3....similar to the first one maybe. System out of the gulf tracking northeast, rain initially, double barrell low phases near us, rain to heavy snow?? http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/namer/gfs/18/images/gfs_pcp_126m.gif http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/namer/gfs/18/images/gfs_pcp_132m.gif Bring on spring.

Lance 228 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 i saw they are already calling for more snow next weekend...this is getting really old...i hate winter. Doesn't matter if it knocks out power though, AEP has jacked everyones bill up so high now that no one will have power in a month or so anyway!

Beamerball 566 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 (edited) The GFS is the warmest of the models though I think but its slowly coming around. Got to remember that phasing aspect and dynamic cooling with this kind of system also. If phasing occurs, then it could mean a much better snow situation, if not then probably more likely rain. Of course, that's just with the way its looking now. Like you say, still a way off though, plenty to change...could be an all rain event, or nothing, by the time it rolls around. With as much precip as its putting out, I'd be hoping for either snow or rain, rather than ice though, haha. As much as the grounds are getting saturated, as already were even before much of this, and then March and April just around the corner, is the next threat down the road major flooding? Yay.....
